“Thank you so much this is my 14th camp and every time I come there are so many awesome leaders that makes my day.”

"It is a fun way to make friends and learn more about God in lots of ways. I will become a leader when I am older because I want other kids to experience this amazing camp.”

“This camp was a really good experience for me to socialise a bit more and to make so many amazing memories. I had a lot of fun meeting people like campers and leaders and making incredible memories here.”

“Going on these camps has been a life changing opportunity for me and I've learned so much over all the camps I've attended so far. It's helped me grow as a person, but most importantly it's helped me grow closer to God.”

“Camp is my safe place with all my friends, and also time away from my family (don't tell them that). I made many new friends and connected with people I haven't seen in years. This was the best, thank you.”

What to expect...

Blast camps are packed full of adventure activities, beach, and games. Campers are invited to join us on the ultimate adventure, challenging themselves through high adventure activities and problem-solving games in teams. Whether it’s stepping outside your comfort zone, trying something new, making new friends, or spending time in the great outdoors, Blast is the place where campers can learn something new about themselves and about God.

All our delicious meals are made with care in preparing gluten free, nut free, dairy free, and other meal alterative options. Please ensure you indicate your child's dietary requirements when you register.
